Chapter 640 Here Comes Veronica (3)
And the girl who had been pushed out of the door was the girl who had tried to blackmail Raymond on the side of the road.
The girl fell to the ground in a sorry state. Her knees had been scratched by the old cement floor, and the books in her arms were scattered all over the ground.
When the girl looked at the books scattered, she was sad.
Seeing the woman close the door, the girl ignored the injury on her knees and stepped forward, begging the woman.
"Aunt, my dad bought this house for you. Even if you don't care about me, you should take me in tonight for my father's sake. Tomorrow, I will leave. I won't cause you any trouble."
Well, the woman in front of her was Janice Gooch, the wife of Veronica's uncle Ronald Luke.
"Your father has already cut off all ties with Ronald. Don't call me aunt, I can't bear it. Also, you said that your father bought this house? Do you have any evidence? Moreover, if this house is under your father's name, I'm afraid it has already been seized." Janice sized Veronica up with ridicule. "Look at you now. All messy and sinister. You want me to take you in? That's not gonna happen."
Veronica bit her lower lip.
"But, I really have no other choice. Aunt, please take me in..."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
At this time, a sharp female voice came from outside the door, accompanied by ridicule, "Hey, who's at my door?"
A girl with delicate makeup walked to the door and looked at Veronica. She clicked her tongue and said bluntly, "Isn't this princess of the Luke family? Why are you here?"
Dora Luke furrowed her brows in disgust. "Mom, I heard that Veronica is a jinx and tough bitch. Whoever relates to her will be unlucky. Now she has shut down her father's company. I heard that the villa she lives in has been confiscated and given to the creditor today. Don't let her enter our house, lest she gets us doomed."
After Veronica looked at Dora, her face paled.
Back then, after Ronald cut off his brotherly relationship with Veronica's father, Dora had come to her many times in the name of her cousin. Moreover, Dora had deliberately gotten close to Veronica and urged her to tell her father to restore the relationship.
But now, Dora was a completely different person.
This was all because of money. Previously, Veronica was the daughter of the Luke family, but now, she was just homeless.
Janice said, "Of course. How could I let such a jinx in? Dora, you still have classes tomorrow. Come on in."
Dora strutted in.
Janice continued to yell at Veronica, "Veronica, I'm telling you, I'm not gonna take you in, just give up. If you dare to knock again, I'll call the police and ask them to arrest you."
With that, Janice slammed the door shut.
Looking at the closed door, Veronica felt a chill in her heart.
This was family. This was the first time she felt desperate for the family. This feeling sucked.
Since she had cried at the platform before, at this time, Veronica had no tears in her eyes, and they were not worth her tears.
After taking a deep breath, she pulled herself together, then picked up the books on the ground, and prepared to leave.
Just as she was about to leave, Veronica found her phone was gone.
What the heck? She had clearly taken her phone. How come she didn't have it now?
She hurriedly put the book down, then squatted on the ground and began to search, muttering, "Where is it?"
Raymond, who was standing at the foot of the stairs, looked at all of this from before. When he saw the girl looking for her phone on the ground, he couldn't help but say, "Are you looking for this?" Raymond's sudden asking startled Veronica, who was standing on the stairs.
Because there was no light and the place was a dark corner, it was very dark there, so no one had found him in the stairwell.
If Raymond did not speak, Veronica probably would not have noticed him.
After Raymond spoke, even though where Raymond stood was very dark, Veronica immediately recognized the phone pendant in Raymond's hand.
That pendant was bought for her by her mother before her parents divorced.
Veronica said in surprise, "Yes, that's my phone!"
As she spoke, Veronica anxiously ran downstairs towards Raymond.
However, just after Veronica had stepped down a few steps, she suddenly fell because she was too excited. Coincidentally, she threw herself on Raymond.
Raymond did not expect Veronica to suddenly fall.
Out of instinct, Raymond reached out to catch Veronica.
However, after Veronica fell to Raymond, she stepped on the back of Raymond's foot. As a result, Raymond lost his balance and the two of them fell to the ground together.
With a bone-breaking sound, Raymond's left arm instantly felt a heart-wrenching pain.
Hearing Raymond's painful wail, Veronica was nervous. She immediately got up from Raymond. When she got up, her knee suddenly hit Raymond's lower abdomen, Raymond gasping sharply. Well, this was not good...
Veronica blushed and apologized to Raymond in a panic, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose."
Because of the incident just now, Veronica's phone in Raymond's hand had been knocked to the ground. Veronica quickly picked up the phone.
When she picked up the phone, she found that the crystal on the phone chain had been broken in half on the ground. Veronica looked at her phone with guilt. "My pendant!"
When she was kicked out by Janice, she was not heartbroken like this. She held the phone, her eyes suddenly welling up. Veronica looked at Raymond angrily. "Do you know that my mother bought this pendant for me? You..."
Before she could finish her words, Veronica saw Raymond sit on the ground in pain.
"What... What happened to you?" When Veronica tried to touch Raymond's arm, Raymond immediately gasped.
Raymond glared at her. "I must have fractured. I need to go to the hospital now!"
Veronica was stunned.
